After yet more research it seems that the Dnepr is a pre-improved
Ural. If you note the Urals originally cost $4000 when they came to
these shores. Now they're about double that and have a lot more shiny
trinkets on them and better paint. Looking at the closeups of the
Dneprs they are missing the finer touches, more exposed welds, etc...
But the Dnepr allegedly has a heavier transmission that's
semi-automatic to boot like a Honda Supercub. Also 2wd with reverse.

You can say that about virtually any new bike. That isn't Russian!
>Do they have the drum brakes like the Ural?
Yes. With the chair flying on one turn and the rig running wide on the
other I don't think high-speed hijinks will be the order of the day!
